My future wife and I will be moving from Miami, Fl. to Valencia in the summer of 2014. I am an EFL teacher, with MA-TESOL degree, and was wondering if language centers/schools require any sort of visa. I easily qualify for the non-lucrative visa but I want to work. I am aware of the relaxed EFL world and will most likely find related work. Most language centers do not sponsor work permits/contracts needed to acquire the permit due to short hours/day. My first question is if I apply for the N/L visa, become approved, then could I later seek a work permit after finding a contract/sponsor? If an NIE number is acquired at time of N/L visa receipt, then how do I submit a Spanish Bank note stating the necessary 90k balance (Me + Wife) if an NIE number is required to open a bank account?

Should I apply for NIE, open bank account, wire necessary funds, then apply for N/L Visa?
